Typo in kernel name fixed.

Open a console and type “uname -r” and post the result. There may be a typo in the plugin.

The pre-compiled version should work with all versions after 6.6.6. maybe try deleting the plugin and the openvmtools_compiled folder, reboot, then install again. I have no idea if newer VMware tools works on esxi 6.0 though. That’s pretty old.

Updated for 6.7.1-rc1. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg

Updated for 6.7.0-final. I have not yet figured out how to make the plugin update within the GUI, so you have to uninstall and reinstall. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg

I am out of the country on vacation, so it will be a week or so before I can create an updated VMware tools for 6.7.

I have several Eaton’s, but I don’t use NUT. Their IPM software is great.

E5-2680v2s are cheap. Just make sure your BIOS can support v2 procs.

Updated for 6.7.0-RC8. Also updated to VMWare Tools 10.3.10. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg

Why are you losing so many drives? It’s been 7 or 8 years since I have had a drive failure.

Glad its working. Hopefully I don't have to make any other changes for 6.7.0 release.

Its been updated for 6.7.0-RC7, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg

Whoops. Looks like I had RC6 installed. Sorry about that. I will upgrade and re-compile it today.

I finally got it to compile under 6.7.0-RC7. I don’t recall if rc6 is the same kernel, but I didn’t bother with it. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenDTX/unRAID-open-vm-tools/master/openVMTools_compiled.plg
